This was a great tour....

Chhaya_S, Apr 2026

This was a great tour. Paddle boarding was quite hard in the waves, maybe this should be stated as we had done paddle boarding before and did struggle with it. The tour guides were great and very helpful and made the tour fun. They made sure nobody was left behind and we felt very safe. The plankton and clear paddle boarding was very cool!

Truly memorable!

Delwyn_K, Apr 2025

A whole lot of fun! At first I was uneasy about paddling out on my own SUP with lightning in the distance and rocky waves - but joined with 3 experienced guides, they were very helpful. The kayaks struggled just as much, if not more with waves spilling into them - almost sinking one. The guides ensured the group stuck together, helped propel any struggling paddlers and scooped water out the back of the kayaks to prevent them from sinking. Overall, the bioluminescence was magical, fish were jumping all around our LED lit SUPs and kayaks. Made for a truly memorable experience. Thank you to the guides who kept our spirits up and looked after our safety despite a looming thunderstorm that night.

10/10 experience!!!! You will not be disappointed 😎

It was a 10/10 experience!!! Everyone needs to partake in this activity. The guide was wonderful and the gentleman who assisted him were so helpful. I ordered the paddle boards instead of the kayaks but the guides were so helpful while we were on the ocean to make sure that we were able to keep up since it was our first time on the paddle boards. This night was by far my best night in Thailand 😍

Amazing experience!

This experience exceded our expectations. We went on transparent stand-up paddleboards while almost everyone else was in transparent kayaks. The guides were helpful and swimming with the bioluminescent plankton was an amazing experience. Viewing the fish under our kayaks at night was amazing. This was one of the highlights of our vacation.

Great night time experience in Railway beach

Really really fun! It was my first time paddle boarding and I felt very secure throughout. Lam and the other two guides were extremely nice and helped me a lot because I was by myself. It's great because you go at night and water never gets too deep. We saw jumping fish and bioluminescent plankton!

amazing time

Thanks so much Parimal! It was awesome to have you out on our Night Tour :). We are so glad the Bioluminescence made an impression - it's magic right?! You've got to come back to Railay one day, we'll be here to welcome you back! Many thanks and all our best wishes, The Freebird Crew
